  • It’s my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It’s often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.

    By doing this, they’re basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.

    Purely to try and scare people/send a message.

    When he’s rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like “owning an unregistered firearm”, this could come back to bite them in the ass.

    But who knows. I’ve been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.





  • While I can’t fault your feelings, a lot of us are unable to do much without going homeless/hungry. Too many of us are living paycheck to paycheck, as by design, to do anything without losing what little they already have.

    There are protests everywhere, the media is just downplaying/intentionally not reporting on them.

    But we are very, very sorry. Many of us have been actively fighting against this fascist bullshit for years, since 2016/17. People like myself have alienated family and friends who support this fascist regime.

    There’s always more someone like me can do, but the tradeoffs are getting worse and worse. It’s easier for me to just leave the country at this point and go to a country that aligns with my views and the way people should be treated.
